Tn the midst of all this dispute and uncertainty over tho League of Na tions, there is a big fact that thrusti1 up through tho confusion like a moun tain peak through tha mist. It la this: The League of Nations is actually in existence. It has been born while men were yot debnting about it. It ip functioning in Paris now. The league consists of the big pow ers that havo fought and won thlB war supported by the .good will of all the smaller powors. It is busy winding up the war. And in the midst of thai imperative work, it is looking ahead. Il.nvlng mndo pence, it will go on to olher things that need doing for the world's velfnro nnd safety. The le.-H-uo ilse'f might be called a spiritual Ihiujr, made up of the hopeH of the world. Kut the machinery of the league operating at Paris is u per fectly cum-rote thing, engaged in mak ing those, hopes practic.il. It is Inconceivable that the powers now wielded by the representatives of. tho allied natiops should be thrown away when the immediate job has been uttended to. That job wilt in realit) never bo finished. And tho govorn ment set-up now at Paris will not dis solve nor abdicate. . in one form or an other it will continue its work be causo it must, and tho statesmen pre siding over the destinies of tho nationi concerned know that it must. It is not really a question, then, nC merely accepting or rejecting sonic theoretical plan for a world federation It is 11 question of providing legal ma chinery for the continuance of tho league now in existenco, and for the gradual extension of , its scope am1 powers. Ami Hint will be done, not bo cause any single man or group of men wnntB it done, but because it is inevitable. numbered as follows Six per cent county indebtedness for permanent roads (S. J.

With the exception of a period of nearly two years, which he spent in the service, Harry had lived all his life in La Grande. He enlisted in tho army transport service "m February, 1017. and served in that branch untii Deputy Secretary of State Sam Ko-lahout three months airo. when illness zor has assigned the ballot numbers I compelled him to come home.

On arriving at San Francisco ho underwent a minor op oration and was shortly afterward sent home to La Grando on sick leave. , He spent a couple of weeks at Hot Lake following his return and seemed to be getting well along on the road to recovery. He felt so well that he began making plnns for brief outings here this spring to regain his strength, and then to return to the service and tako the examinations for marine engineer, for which he had prepared himself. He became ill with jaundice, however, and just n few days after this attack he passed away. 1'AI'TIST VK'TOHY ' the Baptist church is intended to rem- CAMPAIGN MOVH.MKNT edy this situation.
